I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in New York, California, and Colorado. I hold a Master of Social Work degree from Columbia University and have been working in the mental health field since 2016, leading community-based mental health teams, consulting, and working in private practice. I identify as an Iranian-American/white, bisexual, and cisgender woman and strive to practice through an anti-racist, feminist, and anti-oppressive lens. This work offers a daily reminder that mental health is not developed in a vacuum— culture, history, family, race, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, and gender identity all play a part, and it would be my privilege to work with you to uncover how these systems can both impact and empower you.

I work with individual adults ages 18+, and I am deeply passionate about working with anxiety, grief, survivors of suicide loss or other sudden death, LGBTQ+-specific issues, trauma, and issues surrounding self-esteem and self-compassion. My approach is trauma-informed, and person-centered, and I draw from principles of CBT, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic theory, IFS, and mindfulness. I am also trained as an EMDR therapist and can provide this evidence-based trauma treatment. Together we will use these tools to help you move through pain with compassion and strengthen your capacity to bounce back from it more quickly.
